Three way monitor with 3D Vision Surround Technology setup using SPARKLE GTX480/GTX470 Graphics Cards at Computex booth, 2010.

The SPARKLE GTX480 are the latest graphics cards for high-end and mainstream gamers, they are based on NVIDIA Advanced DX11 GF100 architecture which implements all DirectX 11 hardware features, including tessellation and DirectComputer, among others. GF100 brings forward a vastly improved compute architecture designed specifically to support next generation gaming effects such as ray tracing, order-independent transparency, and fluid simulations.Game performance and image quality receive a tremendous boost, and GF100 enables film-like geometric realism for game characters and objects.

Geometric realism is central to the GF100 architectural enhancements for graphics. In addition, PhysX simulations are much faster, and developers can utilize GPU computing features in games most effectively with GF100.SPARKLE GTX480/GTX470 graphics cards all support NVIDIA latest visual technologies, such as 3D Vision Surround technology, 3-Way SLI, 3nd Generation PureVideo HD, OpenGL 4.0 and Native HDMI 1.3a. SPARKLE GTX480/GTX470 graphics cards come with 3 free applications bundled to showcase how GeForce and these new technologies are driving the future of gaming and home entertainments.

ASUSTek is on the verge of releasing a graphic user interface (GUI) BIOS for all users of the P5Q motherboard series. The new type of BIOS called an Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) makes the transition from an older keyboard driven environment to something so much more appealing and easier to use. At this stage it doesn’t add any extra features except stylish good looks, but for those users who have been afraid of delving into the BIOS, now is your chance, especially if you feel comfortable in a Windows environment. You can monitor temperatures using color coded bars, and navigating with a mouse makes the BIOS much more user friendly and easy to use. We will provide you a link as soon as it is available for download. Please leave your comments and any ideas you might have to further advance the EFI BIOS and we will relay them to the people involved with the this project.

Thanks to our friends at Xtremesystems: You can download the EFI BIOS here: ASUS EFI BIOS for P5Q Deluxe

AMD @ Computex 2009 will launch their own 3D technology, they have been working with a company called DDD who provides the technology behind it. It requires adriver to be installed on top of the ATI catalyst driver. It is different from Nvidia 3D Tech because they use passive glasses. So when you look outside the screen, it has no flickering. Running at 1920×1200 resolution with interlaced alternating eye setup. Unlike Zalman, the AMD technology is more software based, although has some similarities.

Product Manager from ASUS @ Computex 2009 talks about the ASUS MARS DUAL VGA card which features 2x GTX 285 GPU’s in one unit.
The impressive graphics performance is without equal.

ASUS Mars GTX 285 Dual VGA card - Limited edition (1000 pieces only) . Worlds Fastest graphics card. 4 GB memory and solid state capacitors, 5 phase PWM per GPU and specialised cooling design.
